Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry Final Project- Topic 4 Pick two similes or metaphors from the book and explain their meaning. This project must be original and creative. It must be organized, and truly show your knowledge of the characters and the content from the novel. Make sure to be “in character” when you’re explaining the similes/metaphors from the perspective of the character. Use dialect like that of the Logan family. After the group has analyzed two similes or metaphors, you will choose one that will be presented to the class. (You will still turn in both written explanations). You may use GarageBand to voiceover an illustration that you have drawn, or create an iMovie, etc. to record yourself analyzing the metaphor as one of the characters. You may want to add pictures, music, etc. to help the class truly understand what the metaphor or simile means. You will use your wikispaces account to create a wiki where your group will be able to collaborate and add information for the final product. You can organize your script on the wiki. There is a rubric on the back of this sheet explaining how the final product will be graded. You will have some time in class to work on the project, but you must spend time at home researching and planning. You can add the information you find at home to your wiki, where your group can easily access and edit the information. Mrs. Michael or Mrs. Fritts will meet with your group individually to further discuss requirements and your plans for this project.
